The British Budget.

Mr.. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
has introduced the budget in the House of
Commons. From it it appears that last year
the revenues of the government amounted to
$3.50, 100000, and that the expenses reached
nearly that sum. There has been a saving of
S1,315 OG3' in the army estimates and of
81, $4,000 iii the estimates for the civil ser
vice. The revenue obtained by taxes on al
coholIc liquors had decreased 1886, 900, while
that derived from the beer tax had increased
$225,OOO. The receipts from the wine taxes
had fallen off S465, 600, and those from the
tax on tea had largely increased. Sir VIM. V.
Harcourt had estimated that the surplus for
the year would be 81, 295, 900 while it really
reached So, $50, 600.
The budget estimates the revenue for the
coming years at 1856, 775, 600. and the expendi-
lures at $450,900,OOO. 1t is proposed to raise
$4,000 by charging ten shillings transfer
duty on each 100 debentures of stock, which
has hitherto almost escaped duty. To clear
the budget of local loans it is intended to
cancel S1S5, 100000 of other portions of the
public debt and create the same amount of
local loan stock, charging the local loan bud
get with an annuity of $4,000.
1t Is also proposed to take one penny per
pound sterling of the income tax and four
pence per pound sterling off the tobacco tax,
and to reduce the taxation on marine policies.
The budget was complete surprise to the
House of Commons. Many of its proposals,
notably those relating to National Debt
charges, will be vigorously opposed II is
maintained that Mr.. Gosehen has resorted to
unsOund measures of finance in order to pre-
sent budget that may serve the Conserva-
IVes at the next general election. The Con-
serVatlVeS are much irritated at Lord
Randolph Churchill's attitude.

Seizure of Pamphlets.

A box Of illustrated pamphlets, entitled
Gynberg Ballads, the property of Mr.. A. T..
Atkinson, arrived by the steamer Mariposa.
On application for permit at the Custom
House, the owner was informed that he
could not have his property, II having been
stopped by orders Of the Attorney General.
On Saturday Mr.. Atkinson, through his
attorney, ". Il. Castle, Esq, brought suit
Of repleyiu againSt the Collector of Customs

order frOu the Court for the Marshal to take
possession of the goods. The order was
served by Marshal haulukou, with prompti-
tu5e, and after consultation with the At
torney-General and approved of Mr.. Akin
sons bondSmen, MesSrs. w. Il. Castle and
Sandford b. Dole, the offending box was
handed into the Marshal's custody by the
Collector of Customs.
During the interview with the Attorney
General, that functionary informed Mr.. At
kinSon that he had intended TO hand over
the pamphlets on Monday, but as Mr.. Akin
son had chosen to take legal means to obtain
them they would now be kept till the July
Term, and that by raising points of law at
the trial, be might be kept from his property
for two years.

Generals legal knowledge is not common

Walkers Chinaman would get the
license. Aki reluctantly raised the
amount, and it was paid to the King
personally. Shortly after he was hor-
rifed by hearing that Chun Lung
had received the license.
Since then repeated efforts have
been made to have the money returned.
Its return has been promised by the
King. but after various subterfuges
he has refused to have anything fur
Their to do with Ali, and the money has
not been returned.
These are ineonTovertable facts.
They are backed by sixty odd pages
of sworn afidavits, by fourteen par
sons, establishing them beyond a pos
sibility of doubt. The only question
is whether Kaae got any of the money,
or whether the King kept it all. Both
admit that the money was paid,
but each points his thumb over his
shoulder at the other and says she
did it"

TUESDAY, NAY l.. 1887.

To CAP the climax in the opium mat-
ter. the Attorney General proceeds to
acknowledge that TIE money was psid
over by the Chinese. for after the
reference made TO the matter IN the
GAzErTE, be Informed a gentleman IN
terested in getting the money back,
that he would never accomplish his
object as long as he allowed thenews-
papers to speak Of the affair, The
Acknowledgement then sees that there
is no use IN denying the receipt OF
the money, but suggests that if quiet
tongue is kept in the matter the cash
received for the bride uGy be returned.
This is a pretty piece of morality for
the Acknowledgement 10 put forth, and
shows the obhquity of vision OF all
who are connected with the govern
ment.

The Late John Joseph Ha1stead.

Another of the old kamaainas has passed
away in the person of Mr.. John Joseph Hal
stead, of Ulupalakua. Maui, at the advanced
age of rs years and months. The late Mr..
Halstead was born in New York, October 80,
1905, and arrived at these islands in the ship
Abigail, in year 1888. At the earnest persua-
sion of his late Majesty Kamehameha III.
and the late DIR. G. p. Judd, he was induced
to settle on Maui as carpenter-doing a
great deal of work for the Government and
the King. He also Superintendent the erec-
ton of the old native church at Lahaina and
known as "Wainee;" he also erected the La
haina Palace, known as "Hale Piula,"
afterwards used as the Court House. In
1871 Mr.. Halstead opened cabinet ware
room in Lahaina, and continued it till 1877,
when he established the Hawaiian Hotel at
the same place. In 1919 he commenced the
mercantile business at Kalepolepo, which he
continued until 1874 when he removed to
Ulupalakua, where he resided until his
death. During the whole course of his life
here Mr.. Halstead bore an unsullied reputa-
ton, and was always noted for his strict in
tegrity in business.
In 1910, Mr.. Halstead was married to q
granddaughter of the old pioneer, Isaac
Davis, the companion of John Young
by whom he had one son, w. H. Hal
stead. His wife. son and grand
children survive him to mourn their loss

Tho Lost OF tho Poles.

The last survivor of one of the great his
torical families of Europe was buried at
Chene, near Geneva, four days before Christ
mas. The venerable Mathilde Poniatowski,
the widow of Count Szymanowski, had just
passed her niDetieth year. Her family gave
to Poland its last King, Stanislaus Augustus,
under whose reign the death struggle of the
Polish nation began, and Its last hero, Prince
Joseph PouaAtowski, who fell as one of Ma
poleon's generals when bravely attempting
battle of Leipzig. The Gar Alexander, with
generosity which did him credit, allowed
his corpse to be buried in the church at Cra-
COW, among the old kings and heroes of
Poland. Count Szymanowski, the husband
of the deceased lady, took prominent part
in the rising of the Poles in 1881, since which
time she has lived quiet and uneventful
life in the republic of Geneva.

Tho Dickinson Illustrated Lectures.

The brilliantly illustrated course of lectures
on art and travel which Prof. Dickinson
opens, under the auspices of the Y. NJ. @. A.,
at their hail, next Monday evening. May 23d,
has been warmly praised by the San Fran
cisco papers. The Call of April 25th, says:
1.-The spectator is impressed with the idea
that he is being personally conducted through
the galleries. The Alfa of the same date
says: 'sThe lecturers matter is always we'll
in hand. and the views come upon the screen
and vanish to be replaced by others equally
striking, so as to keep the audience con-
stantly on the watch so as not to lose any
thing" The same paper, April 9th, says:
"ro see the beautiful reproductions of the
eisfS-d'oWrra of the immortal masters de-
scribed by an enthusiastic scholar like Mr..
Dickinson, is almost as good as trip to Eu-
rope itself"
